Synopsis (short abstract) The 2030 Agenda calls for innovative partnerships to deliver the scaled-up investments, trade, technology and other means of implementation needed to eradicate extreme poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. FAO programmes seek to improve the incomes, productivity, sustainability and resilience of the world’s family farmers and the rural poor. These mostly small producers and the rural landless poor contribute enormously to global food supply, maintain most of the world’s biodiversity for food and have developed important strategies for protecting natural resources and safeguarding ecosystem services. They also include a majority of the world’s most economically disadvantaged and are the people most affected by hunger and micronutrient deficiency, conflict and climate change.

    Alliances for Action: Guide for export promotion
    Guide for public and private actors on how to facilitate successful alliances for agrifood export and promotion

    This guide presents a step-by-step approach to assist development practitioners, national authorities and the private sector in facilitating the development of export promotion programs through building multi-stakeholder value chain (VC) alliances to compete in international markets. The guide draws from the Alliances for Action (A4A) approach, which was developed by the International Trade Centre (ITC). A4A has been proven to be effective in mobilizing VC and supporting participants in an ecosystem around a shared purpose to transform VC performance in terms of competitiveness, value addition, and export growth, among other targets. This helps practitioners and value chain stakeholders understand the critical steps and processes in the establishment of successful alliances, which lead to product upgrading, the establishment of new market outlets, and the promotion of sustainable production and consumption.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is tasked with an ambitious mandate as outlined in its five new Strategic Objectives - to help eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; make agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable; reduce rural poverty; enable inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems; increase the resilience of livelihoods to disasters. FAO recognizes that no single entity can undertake the mammoth task of eradicating hunger on its own and has placed partnerships at the very heart of its operations. Strategic partnerships are a critical means to achieving results allowing FAO to mobilize the best available knowledge and capacities in working toward common goals. Alongside natural alliances with other UN agencies, FAO welcomes the opportunity to work with bi-lateral donor agencies, development banks, regional organizations, civil society organizations, producers organizations and cooperatives, academic and re search institutions and the private sector. These relations are governed by strategic documents developed in 2013 to provide practical guidance to both FAO and its prospective partners to ensure the best possible outcomes.
